New SP4 owner, need help!

I just bought a Surface Pro 4 (i5/128gb/4gb) primarily to take hand written notes. I'm a full time college student and I wanted to streamline my note taking while reducing the amount of notebooks I have to carry everyday.

I've tried the metro OneNote but switched to OneNote 2013 because of added features. I have it set up to display lined paper which brings me to my issues.

I have paper size set to auto but whenever I try and print notes it seems like a single paragraph (on Surface) takes up a whole page when printed. Is there any way to fix this?

Is there any way to make a notebook default "new page" display the lined paper?

Those menus I posted are from my own Surface computer, to show all the options for making ruled paper. The paper becomes a background image, which gets printed every time. Your background can be white, of course, if desired, with colored lines.
